Book Excerpt
I arrive back at the office to a lot
of excitement. There is a strange buzz circling around—an energy that is
infecting the halls of the normally docile office to the point of drawing me
over into the conference room. The first look I get is from Lincoln and it is
full of concern. It’s a strange glare, considering the positive energy circling
all around.
Bob,
Charles, and James are all hovering over someone—something. As they applaud and
step back, I see with my own eyes their new toy. Taylor Diamond. Taylor is an
incredibly aggressive young attorney with a long list of clients and an even
longer list of success. He looks like he just fell out of a Yale fraternity
magazine; the ideal stunner of a man. His face maintains the perfect jaw
structure, his blue eyes and perfect wavy, black hair only further compliment
his broad shoulders and, near perfect, six-foot physique. Oh, my God. He’s incredible. For a moment, I forget that I am a
partner in my law firm and not a school girl, staring at the shockingly handsome,
cool senior at Liberty High.
Taylor
slowly stands up, his body and height safely rising above and encompassing my
own shadow. He even smiles like an all-star. It’s all too much and I fall
victim again, disappearing into his blue eyes. I quickly recover as his hand
was left extended for a good three seconds before my brown eyes could even
recognize his hand existed.
“Oh,
sorry,” I reply, shaking it. I awkwardly clasp my other hand on top of his as
if I were an eighty-year-old man, consoling a youngster. What the hell is wrong with you, Nicki? Pull it together!
“Nice
to meet you. I’m Taylor Diamond.” He smiles and seems kind. He isn’t cocky.
“I’ve actually heard a lot about you, Nicki. You’re an amazing attorney. I’m
very excited to be here,” Taylor’s words roll of his tongue with ease and are
like a secret potion, drawing me further and further into everything that is
him.
